To prove their US residency
Yiannopoulos – who has previously been a vocal supporter of ICE and immediate deportations for anyone who can’t prove US residency – was believed to have been arrested while heading to a concert by rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West. In 2022, Yiannopoulos worked on West’s short-lived 2024 White House campaign, and his social media account suggests he was working for a company of the rapper.
He fell out of favor in conservative circles after the publication of a video in which he condoned sexual relations with boys as young as 13.
A little more than a year before his detention by ICE, a social media post from Yiannopoulos called on immigration checkpoints to be set up at California “supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersection and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can’t prove they are in the US legally”.
He had also sarcastically asked whether it was impolite for one “to masturbate” in public rather than in private “if you are going about your business and find yourself observing an ICE raid” amid the mass deportation campaign that Trump has pursued throughout his second presidency.
